Louis Guy Michael Memoirs, 1960

214 pages
Abstract Or Scope

The bound memoirs "Russian Experience 1910-1917" discuss Michael's adventures in Russia in 1910-1917. In 1910 he was hired by the Bessarabian provincial zemstvo to help landlords and peasants in that province improve their corn yields; he stayed there until 1916, when he returned to the United States. The first half of the memoirs covers these years, including extensive commentary on Bessarabian peasants, gentry, zemstvo politics, and some information on World War I. In 1917 he returned on a mission to study the Russian grain trade. He sailed across the Pacific with the American Red Cross Mission, spent August in Petrograd, and then travelled around Russia's Black Sea ports in September-November. In early November, he returned to Petrograd, and finally left Russia by the Trans-Siberian railroad in December. While the first half of these memoirs includes much first-hand information, the second half, on 1917, is more derivative in nature.

Vera Nikolaevna Pavlova Memoirs, 1940-1945

201 pages
Abstract Or Scope

The typescript memoirs "Vospominaniia: Zhizn' i rabota v Khudozhestvennom Teatre" discuss her childhood, education, theatrical career, personal life, the 1917 Revolution and the Civil War, and the emigration in Germany in the 1920s. Persons appearing more or less briefly in the memoirs include Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, Konstantin Stanislavskii-Alekseev, Sergei Diagilev, Savva Morozov, Mstislav Dobuzhinskii, and Ol'ga Knipper. However, the memoirs are chiefly personal in nature, and provide relatively little information on Pavlova's theatrical career or the Khudozhestvennyi Teatr in particular. A sizeable part concerns the period of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath (1918-22) in the Ukraine and the Crimea.
